Summary

Clare's mind strayed back once again to that weekend in August at Henry's house. Perhaps nothing would have happened if they hadn't played croquet on the Saturday afternoon. Fucking croquet. Clare and Alex have been together for 10 years, but little of whatever brought them together is left in their marriage. Henry's a friend from the old days, but it isn't clear how much they still have in common. His wife doesn't much care for their guests; especially not Alex, who suddenly finds he can't keep his eyes off her. The weekend seems unlikely to end well. The consequences unspool over the years that follow, across the many different kinds of game the characters play - together, alone or with other people - and as their lives disentangle from and re-entwine with each other.
